Since its creation in 2008, MD’s energy efficiency program, EmPOWER, has yielded $4 in savings for every $1 spent. But EmPOWER can make an even bigger impact if @MarylandPSC makes commonsense reforms. Read more. @RightToZeroDMV

Check out a new op-ed from Tim Oberleiton and Susan Stevens Miller urging Maryland to address its pollution problem by ending wasteful subsidies on gas equipment.
.@EPA approved an important waiver to allow states like Maryland to address their air quality problems and protect vulnerable populations by increasing the sale of electric passenger cars! ⚡️🚗

Today, @SenMarkey introduced the All Aboard Act, which would provide $80 billion to expand passenger and high speed rail! This bold bill offers a long-term vision for the U.S. rail system and lays the tracks for an all-electric rail system. 🚆⚡

ICYMI, a report found gas stoves are filling DC homes with asthma-linked NO2, but a local news outlet pulled the story. People deserve to have this critical information.

Days before Thanksgiving, @WUSA9 took down its story about pollutants @BeyondGasDC found in 600+ DC and MD kitchens with gas stoves. Is our local gas utility @washingtongas burying the truth and hiding the danger facing families?
@wcp is taking a look: https://t.co/y4EE9bmzr5
It looks like the utility Washington Gas convinced a TV station to pull a story about the dangers of gas appliances. This is just wrong. People deserve to know the harmful impacts of living with gas.

Methane gas is dirty and dangerous. @BeyondGasDC tested the real risks of using gas stoves in your home. The results? More than 2/3 of Maryland and DC homes had unsafe levels of NO2 🤯 https://t.co/2UjOhYemjl
A report we released today with our Beyond Gas coalition found that 63% of the 663 homes we tested in Montgomery County & DC exceed EPA’s NO₂ standards from gas stove pollution. Healthy air starts with clean energy solutions.

Beyond Gas D.C. report says researchers found nitrogen dioxide levels over the health standard from the Environmental Protection Agency. https://t.co/llYR8KnZGe
Shortly after Lindsay moved to Baltimore, we measured nitrogen dioxide levels while her gas-burning stove was on. NO2 levels reached more than 4x the EPA’s outdoor safe limit of 100 ppb.
Burning gas indoors isn't healthy. Read @beyondgasdc report: https://t.co/KeSHiZ9p7u
“Supporting families to upgrade our homes with cleaner, high efficiency electric appliances such as induction cooktops is not just important for the climate, it’s a public health necessity.” - Barbara Briggs, @BeyondGasDC

NEW REPORT from @BeyondGasDC found that 63% (!!!) of kitchens they tested in DC and Maryland exceeded EPA’s outdoor air quality standards. Gas has no place in our homes.

Hurry!🚨 It's the last day to submit a comment telling DC's Public Service Commission to STOP Washington Gas from keeping residents relying on dirty methane gas.

We've tested >660 gas-burning kitchens for nitrogen dioxide, a health-harming pollutant produced by 🔥 gas. We'll release our findings Thursday. In short: We measured 🚨hazardous🚨 NO2 levels in >6 in 10 kitchens. Join us Fri 11/22 12 pm to learn more: https://t.co/sofMzRMCkk
